B.A.D.O.A.K. 

BADOAK is a balloon rights society that works to prevent balloon abuse in all its many forms. BADOAK stands for "Balloons (And comrades of balloons) Against All Kinds of Discrimination." It was created by Seershe Boo Rentals and Rarry in 2017, and continues to stay active today, doing vital work for balloons in need. While BADOAK doesn't get much media attention, it has appeared in a New York Times op-ed titled: "Balloons Rights: Say What?"
Person 1: "Hey, do you know what B.A.D.O.A.K. is?"
Person 2: "Its this really cool organisation that I pledged my allegiance to and--"
Person 1: "Woah, woah, woah... the only thing I pledge my allegiance to is The Lord!"
Person 2: "Why am I friends with you again?"

Ba-dee-ya 

Ba-dee-ya — The go-to phrase used by Maurice White of Earth Wind and Fire in every song he wrote that needed a filler phrase. The most popular use of this phrase was in the song September where he sings:

“'Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember / Ba-dee-ya, dancing in September…”

The co-writer of the song September, Allee Willis, asked:

“'We are going to change 'ba-dee-ya' to real words, right?' " But, this never happened.

In the final vocal session Allee Willis got desperate and begged Maurice White to rewrite that part of the song.

Finally when it was so obvious that he was not going to do it, she yelled:

“'What the fuck does 'ba-dee-ya' mean?'

And, White said:

“Who the fuck cares?'"

She said of that moment:

“I learned my greatest lesson ever in songwriting from him: never let the lyric get in the way of the groove”

The rest is 21st of September history.

As a result of taking that lesson to heart, Allee Willis went on to write: Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Boogie Wonderland,” the Pointer Sisters’ “Neutron Dance,” Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield’s “What Have I Done to Deserve This” and The Rembrandts’ “I’ll Be There for You (Theme from Friends).”

She has collaborated with: Bob Dylan, James Brown, Patti LaBelle, Deniece Williams, Herbie Hancock, Lamont Dozier; and, co-authored the Broadway musical The Color Purple.

She is also the first woman--and fifth person ever--to have written music for two shows opening on Broadway in the same season.

Ba-dee-ya!
“…Hey, hey, hey
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day..”

wang ba dan

Chinese for a egg (son) of a turtle; similar to SOB but with a slightly longer history. Origins vary, but the most popular theory is that comes from wang ba duan (忘八端), which means forgetting filial piety, 'brotherly respect', loyalty, trustworthiness, politeness, justice, honesty and shame. (Being ashamed means you know you did something wrong. Calling someone shameless can be highly offensive.) Incidentally, apart from turtle, wang ba also means someone who wears a green hat.

Though if you're looking for a Chinese translation of SOB, there are better equivalents.
A: Ni zhe (you) hunzhang (shameless) wuchi (shameless) beibi (low) xialiu (seedy) si zazhong (damned mongrel dog) gei wo gun dan (take a hike)!

B: Bi zui (shut up)! Ni zhe ge bu yao lian de (shameless) wang ba dan zhen bu shi dongxi (lower than things)!

Note: Don't copy this or you'll end up in hospital for a year or two.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
